Twitter Bug

Just a heads-up for anyone noticing problems parsing Twitter feeds:
SimplePie supports something called HTTP Conditional Get, which is the process of asking a feed if it has changed before we re-download a fresh copy of the feed. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been noticing a problem with my Twitter status on my personal [...]

How can SimplePie’s API improve?

SimplePie is a tool that I use nearly every single day, in nearly every single project I work on. I use it partially because I work on it, and partially because I really believe that it’s the best tool for the job (when that job is RSS/Atom parsing). At the same time I know that [...]

Support Community Update

This is just a note to let everyone know that the old support site has been officially moved to read-only status. No new registrations will be accepted on the old site, and no one is allowed to post. The site is still searchable, however, so that might be a good place to find answers [...]

Moving the bug tracking

Since SimplePie 1.0 Preview Release 1 was released back in January 2006, we’ve used the fora (running PunBB) as a bug tracker — mainly because of my hatred of the usability of almost all bug trackers. A few weeks ago, I came across Redmine: the first bug tracker I’ve ever been happy using. I [...]

Moving the SimplePie support forums

In the last post, I talked a little about transition. SimplePie is growing, and is the most popular it has ever been! This means two things:

We’ve got to keep building the best RSS/Atom software available for PHP (and AJAX, and Mobile, and WordPress), and…
We’ve got a LOT of users to support, with a LOT [...]

Welcome Steve Minutillo!

SP2: The Vision

I’m sure that many of you will have by now heard me talking about SP2,
whether in the context of how PHP4 is holding us back, or why SimplePie lacks
modularity. But what is the idea of SP2? What will it actually have?

Modularity: I made brief mention of this in my previous

SimplePie 1.1 is now available!

SimplePie 1.1 is now available. This release adds some features that we’d wanted to put into 1.0, but didn’t have the time to. It also squashes lots of miscellaneous bugs. This release is API-compatible with previous 1.0.x releases, so it should be as simple as a drop-in replacement. Feel free to check out the [...]

ByePie

Having put a lot of thought into the matter over the past several weeks, I’ve made my decision to leave development of SimplePie.
“Why!? Oh Why!?”, you scream (well, maybe not, but I’m not a telepathic seer). For a start ... [More] , I haven’t actually really used SimplePie myself since early 2006 (now almost two years ago), and [...] [Less]

Status Update

I just wanted to give everyone a status update about SimplePie:
SimplePie 1.1: We were wanting to have SimplePie 1.1 done a few weeks ago, but it was suggested that we hold the release back a bit to catch more bugs first. At the same time Geoffrey and I have both been swamped with other [...]

New SimplePie Plugin for WordPress coming soon!

There are a TON of people currently using the SimplePie Plugin for WordPress. It is by far the most popular plugin we’ve developed, but it’s also the one that has been most complained about. When we first created the plugin back in the Beta 2 days, I put something together that was simple, [...]

SimplePie: The Book?

For the past few months I’ve been kicking around the idea of writing a book about SimplePie.

Delayed.

We’re slipping the SimplePie Blackberry/Live schedules by one week. I was unable to wrap up development on LIVE because my computer was in repair at Apple for 2 weeks. I just got it back on Friday, and spent the weekend getting everything re-installed from scratch. Geoffrey also spent the weekend getting [...]
